About Submersion of Japan
In this TV series of the hit 1973 film, Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes shake Japan. Firestorms burn beautiful Japanese cities to the ground. A weather survey group discovers that the Japanese Archipelago is moving towards the Japanese Trench, which if left to continue on its collision course, would bring the whole island of Japan under the sea!
Directed by Sakyo Komatsu, Submersion of Japan leans on a strong ensemble — Keiju Kobayashi, Takenori Murano, Kaoru Yumi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1974.
